What Is the Potential Maximum Profit for the Buyer of a Put Option?

The potential maximum profit for the buyer of a Put Option is substantial, up to the strike price minus the premium paid. This maximum profit is achieved if the underlying asset's price falls all the way to zero.

Since the buyer has the right to sell at the strike price, the profit is maximized when the market price is at its lowest possible value.
